Hello,
I am working my way through the various tutorials to see exactly which facet of programming I wish to target my efforts.
In the meantime....is it possible to display a mouse-trail-clock behind my PC mouse pointer without being in a web site per se?
I hope I learn soon just how silly the question is...if not, I am sure I will hear one way or the other by response.
Thanks loads. BC:D

Hi,
im not saying its not possible but i ain't seen a tool to do that. The reason it is only available when you are in a website is that website developers are using functions in the web browsers that would allow the user to have mouse trail clock when they are browsing through the site. These functions are not really part of the overall operating system therefore when you are not in the browser and buzzing around your PC you are limited to a very few simplistic ones.

Hope its helps

You could try creating a webpage with the mouse trailer, then setting it as your desktop background (if your OS allows webpages as backgrounds, Windows does). That would probably only work over blank desktop though.

probably you've been to javascriptsource.com,but maybe not. they have some great scripts including doing mouse-trail stuff that you could probably adapt
